Notes

Note for these interesting times. User talk:Iridescent#Reply, having slept on it is a smart take on what is likely to happen on WP for the next few weeks/months(/years?). I promise to try to (a) be less snarky than usual, and (b) be more understanding of others' snarkiness than usual. If you think I need to dial something back, emailing me to say "Dude, maybe dial it back" is more likely to work than publicly posting a lecture on my talk page. Only because I'm human and don't like getting embarrassed.
Normal humans: I'm an admin again! Not around too much, so best to ask another admin for help, but I'll do what I can, when I can. For the foreseeable future, I'm even less likely to have time to help than normal. Still responding to pings and talk page notes about stuff I'm already involved with, but any other requests will probably be politely deflected.
Admins: If you think an admin action I've taken in the past is wrong or no longer useful, go ahead and undo or change it without feeling like you have to talk to me first.

Folly, thou conquerest, and I must yield!
Against stupidity the very gods
Themselves contend in vain. --Friedrich Schiller

Look

Beautiful Main page today, don't miss the pic by a blocked user (of a 2013 play critical of refugee politics), nor a related video, interviews mostly German, but music and scene. - Still some apples left over there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:04, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. We don't have many apples left - most orchards have been picked clean by now - and today is our first snow. I love autumn weather, and it should be my favorite season, except it isn't because I know it means winter is coming. I hate winter. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:45, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

understand - we could sit outside on the terrace you know two days ago, will go again today (but probably inside or with two blankets), but from Monday all closed again - will think of you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:15, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoy the view! Here's to Spring 2021. A shame humans can't hibernate. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

that view was splendid, repeated 1 Nov before they were forced to close again - I looked at this yesterday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:27, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you were able to go twice. The beeches look lovely, thanks for sharing the pciture. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:34, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

Community sanctions now authorize administrators to place under indefinite semiprotection any article on a beauty pageant, or biography of a person known as a beauty pageant contestant, which has been edited by a sockpuppet account or logged-out sockpuppet, to be logged at WP:GS/PAGEANT.

Technical news

Sysops will once again be able to view the deleted history of JS/CSS pages; this was restricted to interface administrators when that group was introduced.
Twinkle's block module now includes the ability to note the specific case when applying a discretionary sanctions block and/or template.
Sysops will be able to use Special:CreateLocalAccount to create a local account for a global user that is prevented from auto-creation locally (such as by a filter or range block). Administrators that are not sure if such a creation is appropriate should contact a checkuser.

Arbitration

The 2020 Arbitration Committee Elections process has begun. Eligible editors will be able to nominate themselves as candidates from November 8 through November 17. The voting period will run from November 23 through December 6.
The Anti-harassment RfC has concluded with a summary of the feedback provided.

Miscellaneous

A reminder that standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. (American Politics 2 Arbitration case).

Mr.Waterford

I know when my chain is being yanked. They're asking me because they have a character defect and think it's fun to poke people. I'm not in the mood to tolerate some asshole intentionally poking me today; I'm not interested in being their trained monkey, available for entertainment whenever they are bored. I suppose someone could try convince this person to stop yanking my chain and fuck off, but I wouldn't ask anyone to beat their head against a brick wall like that. Instead, they can avoid any further occurances of me telling them to fuck off by fucking off. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:42, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. FB, Dear Sir, It has been noticed by me that Mr.Waterford (Commander Waterford), has been indefinitely blocked ; but I, for an admirable amount of time, fostered a constructive editing relationship with him and was assisted by him in many ways. It is that reason for which I am inquisitive to learn about the whereabouts of his wikilife. Therefore Sir, I am inclined to present before you my humble query- What was the reason for which he had to suffer such an unexpected and unaffable consequence? Would you be kind enough to dispel my ignorance on the matter? I remain, Sir, Faithful servant, Ppt2003 (talk) 04:06, 3 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Fuck off. --Floquenbeam (talk) 05:04, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Floquenbeam:, I am appalled by your misconduct and wish to appraise of you the information that, if you desire to refrain from answering a humble query, Please let it be ignored. Do Refrain from posting such a horrifying expression! Yours, Ppt2003 (talk) 17:07, 3 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Fuck off. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:07, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great Ghu! Are you F-ing the ineffable? --Deepfriedokra (talk)

Don't know why they're asking you. 'twas TonyBallioni wot did that deed. --Deepfriedokra (talk)(fuie)

Reverting

No, I thought you wouldn't like it to be reminded how to read, here just as you did to me. How deeply ironic. Next time, don't ever covert pretend to edit conflict and remove my post. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 23:45, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fuck off. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:46, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
